Larry's legacy will endure.
In a small, bitter way, it is almost a relief to know that his too many years of suffering have finally ended.
Even before he became too ill to fly, he was a "character." I think he worked at being contentious, sometimes. Always lively and intensely into what he was into, and enjoyed "discussions" with friends, however boisterous.
Met him about the time the Las Cruces (NM) Squadron - Larry, Mark Bowen and Gary Marchand - started campaigning. One time, I think at a Tucson SW Regionals January contest, he showed up in a garish purple jumpsuit. Moby Grape! Teased him about that for a long time...
Mo'best. Progressive bellcrank studies. So much else that has reached so many of us.
But it was Larry we all cherished, each in our own way. it's always sad to lose a friend, but at least we had several years as friends. That will remain...
I was glad to see him taking a bigger part in on-line discussions over the recent few years; he'd been keeping a much lower profile several years before that. Last time I saw him was at a VSC several years back.
Thanks, Larry! We'll all miss you.
